In case you missed it, tons of NFL players, coaches, and refs donned pink apparel last week to promote Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and many will continue to do so throughout October!

Well this inspired one player to make a similarly inspirational fashion statement for a cause that meant a lot to him! That is, until the league shut it down!!

Chicago Bears receiver Brandon Marshall was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder back in 2011, so he announced he would wear green shoes during his Thursday night game in honor of Mental Health Awareness Week!

Sounds like a great idea, right? Well, the NFL didn't seem to think so, and they quickly told him he'd be fined if went through with it!

Brandon quickly fired back and said he'd wear the green cleats regardless, and to top it off, he'd

It'd be pretty cool to be a Chicago Bears star, being able to go places many others can't. Especially that sexy locker room, LOLz!

Brandon Marshall had just gotten a package from the University of Central Florida and wanted to show off the shirt given to him, but inadvertently tweeted a picture that captured his teammate's bare donk in the background!

Miami Dolphins receiver Brandon Marshall announced in a news conference that he suffers from borderline personality disorder, otherwise known as BPD.

BPD is a mental illness that includes characteristics of intense anger, impulsivity, and turbulent relationships. At the news conference, he revealed that he wants to be the "face" of BPD.

The 27-year-old received a diagnosis earlier this spring after seeking treatment at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Mass.

He explained:

"My purpose moving forward is to raise awareness of this disorder — how it not only affects the patient but the families and the people in the community."

Earlier this year, Marshall was involved in a domestic dispute, which resulted in his wife stabbing him! Yikes!

Talking about his own personal experience with the disorder, he added:

"You can treat some symptoms with medications, but the way to truly improve…functioning is with psychotherapy. I am not saying that I am cured. What I am saying today is that I am confident today that with the skills that I have learned and the intensity of the program that I went through that I am in a position where I can live an effective and healthy life."

It's really brave of him to come out publicly and try to raise awareness on the disorder. We wish him luck with his treatment.
